| - I've never had a dinner that didn't suck at Tutto. The food is just terrible, the service even worse, and the biggest slap in the face is that you have to pay a fucking premium for this. I've had better Italian food at Za's, and they're not bullshitting me by pretending to be fancy while serving me pasta that was made by a stoned idiot on minimum wage.
The pasta always manages to come out undercooked, and the sauces/seasonings taste like they're straight out of the can. I was once served a ladle-full of lumpy mashed rice pudding, and they had the nerve to tell me it was a risotto. A stomachache-inducing pile of shit is what it was. The waiters always end up being inattentive and slow, ignoring refills so they can spend more time chatting in the back. They have more than enough staff to handle their capacity.
The bar at the front is nice, but ludicrously expensive for no good reason. The rest of the restaurant is an overpacked shitshow. If someone is sitting at the table behind you, prepare for a very uncomfortable dinner with a lot of accidental bumping.
This place reminds me of an Italian restaurant I used to work in, where we would just scrap together the nastiest old ingredients we could using plenty of microwaves and canned tomato paste. Nobody was truly good at or cared about their job, except the manager who seemed pretty capable of convincing the general public that his garbage was actual Italian food. The food tastes just the same.
Really, I was willing to give Tutto a chance. I came back more than once despite repeated lousy dinners. And all I've found is that they're just consistently bad.
